Japanese

Moetsu kita you ni shizumu yuuhi sae hitori sa
Daichi ni mo, unabara ni mo dakareru koto naku
Fukai kokoro no soko de nemura sete iru no ni
Fui o tsuku akane iro no setsunai jounetsu
Kimi no namida miru tabi tamara naku natte
Ushiro kaka omoikiri dakishime taku naru
Kowareru hodo suki sa donna kotoba mo tarinai
Kesshite koe ni shinai itoshisa mo arunda
Umare ochita dake de wa otoko ni wa narenai
Hontou no tsuyosa wa kitto ai kara hajimaru
Kimi no namida no saki ni egao ga aru nara
Tano moshii yatsu no mama mima mottei you
Kowareru hodo suki sa donna kotoba mo tarinai
Kana wanai koi naraba shiawase o negau dake sa
Yuuhi ga mata shizumu jounetsu o daita mama
Hitoshi rezu nemuri tsuku setsunakute mo . . . zutto

English

Sinking as if its burning even the setting sun is alone
Even the earth, even the oceans are things I cant embrace
Deep in the bottom of my heart lying asleep there
Suddenly striking me is a red colored painful passion
Every time I see your tears they become unbearable
From behind with all of my strength I will embrace you
This love that breaks my limit no kind of words are enough
Even I feel a certain caring that can never be voiced
With just a calm birth you cant become a tame man
True strength is surely started from love
If beyond of your tears there is a smile
The same as a trustworthy guy Ill watch over you
This love that breaks my limit no kind of words are enough
If it’s an impossible love Ill just wish for happiness
The sun sinks down again embracing the same passion
Arriving at a secret sleep even though its painful . . . always
